Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2987/29,3526/942
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 2987,3526
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2987,3526 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,942 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,942 is 27318 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2987,3526
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,29,103,2987
Factors of 3526
List of positive integer factors of 3526 that divides 3526 without a remainder.
1,2,41,43,82,86,1763,3526
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2987,3526 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2987,3526 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,942
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2987/29,3526/942 is 1/27318
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 29,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,942) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,942) = ( 29 × 942 ) / 1
LCM(29,942) = 27318 / 1
LCM(29,942) = 27318
